We've nominated, in no particular order but numbered for convenience, our top six for being consigned to the dreaded Room 101.
- Tony Blair for being a prat, by thinking religion will solve all the world's problems
- Pope Ratzinger, for being a prat, by seeming to approve of, or at least perform only a half-hearted apology for, all the lives ruined because his foot soldiers couldn't keep their peckers in their pants (as well as being Pope Ratzinger).
- The entire Catholic Church, for being a collective prat.
- Islamic extremism for being Islamic extremism, and because those who call for gays to be thrown off cliff tops are not just prats, but dangerous prats (these two links have exciting video in CinemaScope and Technicolor, folks).
- Religion in schools, which is prattish, because kids have, by law, to talk to a sky fairy whether they want to or not.
- Homophobia in the Church of England, where some are more liberal, but the rest are prats.

Post a Comment
We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
